Halo 4 Leaked

[The Rogue Wolf]

I'd love to know who's stupid enough to actually play a leaked game on an XBox Live-connected console. The sound of banhammers falling will resemble a machine gun.

Also, I totally heard that one of the vehicles is a yellow Vespa and one of the weapons is a guitar.

If it has a soundtrack by The Pillows I'm totally there.

I heard in this one, a Doomsday Device [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DoomsdayDevice] generates particles [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MinovskyParticle] which slowly render [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LevelDrain] all technology useless. [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PowerCreepPowerSeep] By the end of the game [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ExactTimeToFailure] you're stripped naked [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ArmorIsUseless] and fighting [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FullFrontalAssault] with sticks, rocks, and bare fists. [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BambooTechnology]

Now excuse me while I run away very fast.

I almost didn't click any of those links.

As for the topic; why is this a surprise? Almost every game that's released on physical copies leak. Not always to the public, but they leak. When I worked in retail, I could have just 'pre-ordered' a copy and play it well before release. I imagine high profile games like these leak thousands of times over around the world.

Of course, the answer to spoilers is simply to flood the internet with fake claims to make picking out the real ones impossible. I've heard that the game features segments where Master Chief battles aliens with the power of song.

That's just the folks wanting a Halo song out of Miracle of Sound.

I could actually see that happening with there being a particular frequency or something that could drive off the Flood while it plays.

But I thought only PC games got leaked early, because of, you know, piracy and junk.

In some countries you can only get pirated copies of X-Box 360 games (there's an article about it here on the Escapist). X-Box 360 piracy is just as bad (if not worse), but publishers like to use the piracy excuse for various reasons.

You know I don't believe you, but if someone told me that Microsoft was making Han Solo do a musical number in one of their games was gonna happen a few months back I wouldn't have believed you either.

 

[ImBigBob]

Gotta say, I laughed my ass off at the thumbnail picture of a leek.

 

[Lopende Paddo]

the forerunners return!!!!

I really don't know, but it seems like a logical evolution..... what else is there to do for masterchief besides killing more elites and brutes?

Having seen the what they have done in the previous games, I can almost promise that this is a way better game then what they will give us.

 

[Skeleon]

Heh and the best part is that I don't care. Although I must admit, a song-based scifi shooter sounds at least... interesting, I guess?

 

[Starke]

WHAT!? Those spoilers were real? Oh for the love of....how come you had to ruin it for us?

Sorry, he had to go. Couldn't risk it for anyone else.

Sorry, that post was meant for him.

Oh, I know who it was aimed at. I just linked his post to a mod so it would get nuked before others saw it.

You scared me for a second, I thought they promoted you...

No Captcha, it would be the end of all human life... or somethin'

Can somebody please explain to me why M$ is panicking?This leak can stir up much more hype than CGI trailers.If they think they are going to lose sales,they should be smoking a bit more money to realize that people are going to buy it anyway,be it 16-year olds or grandmas.
Sure it's not a complete build that's not representative of the final product,but some people want to see GAMEPLAY,has anything changed and is it good?
ME3 leaked,sold through the roof.Deus Ex:HR leaked half a year before release,still sold over a million.Crysis 2 leaked,still sold well for a sequel.
This is just PR peeing in their pants and nothing more,do they have to make it into a drama?

Yay Orihime holding a leek! I approve of this articles thumbnail. XD

 

[Dr. Crawver]

The best spoiler I heard was Master Chief and Cortana have a baby, and arbiter becomes the godfather to it.

You MONSTER.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE?
I have to be out in twenty minutes, but NOOOO, Day WASTED. >.<

 

[UberNoodle]

Why is a consumer who bought a product from a seller a 'thief'?

 

[Shoggoth2588]

Spoilers snipped. -Mod

Sounds about right.

All that's left for me to know is whether or not there are boss fights. Since it's an even numbered game I'll assume they're going to half-ass it with maybe 2 or 3.

 

[trophykiller]

Apparently, in this one, Arbiter reveals himself to be the Chief's father, Cortana turns out to be a figment of his imagination(meaning it was Chief who started fight club), and Master Chief takes off his helmet to reveal he was Bruce Willis... And dead the whole time.

 

[lancar]

Strangely enough, I can't really feel bad about this. One would think I would be sympathetic to the developer, but my imaginary angel and demon have discussed it at length and I've come to the conclusion that piracy raping a console (with Halo, no less) is kinda hilarious.

Also, the leek on the thumbnail didn't help
